ok, i've had my wii for a few days now, but i'm not sure if i'm doing everything online that there is to do. so, what can currently be done online with a wii?

www.wiicade.com

I've been doing a bit of youtube.com. The videos look "smoother" on my tv than they do on a pc monitor.

And of course porn.

Not really. It's all mostly stuff that's done better on a computer.

We'll see when they get their online gaming going.

Well,

You can design Mii's and send them to your friends.
You can buy (without trying out) "classic" games from the Wii store.
Let's see....
Hmmm

Yep that about covers it then.

Really online isn't one of the Wii's strong points.

Don't forget the weather channel and the news channel and sending messages, including external accounts.

Anyways for the average joe consumer these things can be handy.

I didn't forget the the weather channel and the news channel and sending messages. Its just none of those is exclusive to the Wii.

Well that leaves out VLC as well.

Smacks moycon in the head.

About all that leaves is the mii's.

The statement "anything I can't do on my computer" almost makes the question pointless.

I dunno about that. The Wii is probably the first time I've ever been able to 3D surf the globe in search of weather and news. The feature itself may be old, but the implementation is definitely fresh.

P.S. Another thing you can do with your Wii is play Touch Wii.

dammit, i still haven't played any wii games (aside from sports). i should have bought metal slug instead of that lan adapter. i signed up with gotta play today, so i should be playing something in the next couple of days.
